Endoscopic Midface Lift

1.    What is midface lift surgery?
Midface lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure to address sagging and volume loss in the cheeks and under-eye area, lifting the middle part of the face for a younger and refreshed appearance.
    2.    Who is a good candidate for midface lift surgery?
Individuals with sagging cheeks, hollow under-eye areas, and age-related volume loss, who are in good health, are ideal candidates.
    3.    How is the surgery performed?
The procedure involves small incisions along the hairline or under the eyes to lift the tissues in the middle part of the face.

The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours, though the time may vary depending on the patient’s specific needs.

    7.    What is the recovery time after surgery?
Initial recovery usually occurs within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery can take several months.
    8.    Will there be visible scars after the surgery?
Incisions are usually hidden along the hairline or under the eyes, so scars are not noticeable and fade over time.

The results are long-lasting; however, natural aging will continue, and minor changes may occur over time.
    13.    Can this procedure be combined with other surgeries?
Yes, it’s often combined with lower facelift, eyelid surgery, or fat injection.
    14.    Will there be swelling or bruising after surgery?
Mild swelling and bruising may occur in the first few days, but this usually subsides quickly.
